Description
Heat waves. Melting glaciers. Rising sea levels. Catastrophic storms. Migrating viruses. Population displacement. Over the past 100 years, the mass consumption of fossil fuel, especially in America, has contributed to a dangerous global warming that has adversely impacted the way we live ? and promises to do far greater damage if we continue to ignore its warning signs. This cautionary documentary offers a guide to the impact of global warming on the U.S. ? and the measures… More >>
I saw the televison version today. A rather simple documentary. No political stuff. Although the climate crisis is no longer disputed, the movie could use help from visual reinforcement and heavy bombardment of scientific evidence. i hope the DVD will go deeper on the scientists’ proposals to solve the problem.
As to personal experience, when i was in Beijing, i read “THE HEAT IS ON”. The weather there is indeed getting hotter year by year. Now i’m in Dubai, the weather is getting cooler. Different parts of a whole picture, i guess.

An excellent program. I gave several as gifts for Christmas to help spread the word and asked each recipient to pass it on as well. Let’s get the word out and touch people’s hearts to evoke change.

This DVD has a number of “talking heads” short statements interspersed with lots of good video. It is well organized, (mostly) around possible effects of climate change, followed by some responses, including a rather good section about what Portland, OR has been doing for a number of years to decrease their contribution to climate change. This DVD is good at making the point that many of the things we can do to decrease our carbon dioxide input also will save us money in the long run, but it seems to paint almost too Rosey a picture in that sense–make no mistake, decreasing climate change will be painful in other ways.(editorial comment there). In contrast, Gore’s movie has more explanation of why some of the climate change effects may occur. So, if you just want to see what the effects may be, this is a good movie. If you want to see some more evidence of why those effects may occur, Gore’s movie is better. For those of you who can’t stand Gore–does it really matter WHO is saying it? He is just repeating what scientists tell him, anyway.

This video is far better than Al Gore’s “inconvenient truth”. The video is all science without the “if I had been voted president I could have made a difference”.
